American skater Alexis Sablone has designed a skateable sculpture in a public square in Malmö, Sweden. Entitled Lady in the Square, the functional installation depicts a female face from aerial view, looking more like a small skatepark from ground level.
“I’m not—at least not consciously. I think I’m way more interested in studying the people—walking around and trying to imagine what it would be like to live there. That and hunting around for bookshops. The architecture and skate stuff is just a built in sixth sense type of thing—all skaters have it. Even when you’re not looking, you’re looking. As soon as you see something visually interesting or odd, or smooth, crusty, grindable, thread the needle-able—it’s like little built in bells go off,” – Alexis Sablone
